MAC Address Clone

Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature clones your PC network adapter's MAC address onto the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router's MAC address. The Router's MAC address is a 6-byte hexadecimal number assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification.
